Elections and
other Turnovers
Municipalelections will soon be
upon us on October 27,2014. This
week's edition of the Sentinel features the
13 candidate profiles for Ashfield-Col-
borne-Wawanosh. Huron -Kinloss will
appear next edition when all profiles have
been gathered. There are 2 mayoral candi-
dates as well as 2 running for school board.
An All Candidates meeting for the
Wawanosh Ward of ACE was held on Octo-
ber 3 and one for Colborne Ward will be
October 8.1 hope to have both for the next
issue, as well. To date I have not been
informed of an Ashfield Ward meeting.
There are many issues facing those who
will be stepping up to represent the various
constituencies. If you have a particular
issue you would like to have addressed I
urge you to contact the candidates in your
ward to bring it to their attention and to dis-
cuss their views.
One point that was made very clearly
during the Wawanosh All Candidates meet-
ing is that the ACW Council meetings are
not well attended by the public. The same is
true for Huron -Kinloss. All Councils have
meetings that are open to the public. If you
want to stay on top of what is happening,
the candidates urge you to begin availing
yourselves of the opportunity to learn first-
hand what is happening and when. Many
complain that officials make decisions
without public input. The opportunity for
input does exist. The municipalities have
websites that post meeting agendas and
minutes to help keep their constituents
informed. However, this information is only
valuable if it is accessed by those whom the
decisions will affect. There are also proce-
dures posted on how to bring your issues
and concerns to the Councils as a delegate.
Another change happening is the sale of
Sun Media to Postmedia. Quebecor pur-
chased Sun Media in 1999 and has made
many changes in those 16 years. Canadian
media has gone through a challenging evo-
lution during this time.
In a letter to employees of Sun Media it
was noted that the sale is subject to Compe-
tition Bureau approval that could take a
number of months to complete. Stay tuned
for further updates.
LUCKNOW NEWS
By Ruth Dobrensky
I went shopping the other day and was
quite irked by the fact (as I was in August
that they had Hallowe'en stuff out), now
they have all the Christmas stuff out also.
I think there should be a law that only
allows any holiday decorations out five to
six weeks before the event. I for one,
would like to enjoy Thanksgiving before I
even have to consider Hallowe'en, let
alone Christmas.
Speaking of Thanksgiving, before you
know it, we'll all be eating turkey and
stuffing, and stuffing ourselves. But it is a
great time to get together with family and
friends and an opportunity to be thank-
ful for all we have.
Several people have asked me what
else we did on our mini family reunion
at my sisters a couple of weeks ago. As
I've told a few people, aside from play-
ing Bocci, we ate too much, we drank
too much, and we laughed too much. I
regret the eating too much, but not the
other two, and definitely not the
laughter. All in all, we had a very good
time.
Happy 50th anniversary and many
congratulations to Thelma and Joe Van
Osch who will be celebrating this coming
Saturday.
Last Wednesday (Oct. 1) was the
beginning of Breast Cancer Awareness
Month. As someone who's been there
twice, I can only say, check yourself and
get to a doctor if you suspect anything. It
could save your life.
Sympathy of the community to the
families of: Mervyn Culbert, 79, RR 4,
Ripley; and, Gysberta Fieten, 73,
Teeswater.
